In 2018, Chuo Bussan implemented Toukei swifT as its ERP Financial application. Toukei swifT is currently deployed to manage core financial accounting functions and serves the finance and accounting organization across Chuo Bussan’s Japan operations.
The implementation centers on transactional financial accounting, consolidating general ledger entries, financial close workflows and statutory accounting processes within Toukei swifT. Chuo Bussan intends to extend the application to cover management accounting by adding departmental budgeting, forecast management and routine preparation of data for consolidated financial statements on the Japanese side.
Operational plans emphasize configuration of budgeting and forecast capabilities and alignment of managerial reporting with transactional books. Governance changes underway include establishing departmental budget ownership, new budgeting and forecasting cycles and data governance practices for consolidation, and the company reports ongoing vendor support from Toukei Computer with expectations for further system improvements.

In 2011, Chuo Bussan Co., Ltd. implemented Barracuda Backup as a Backup as a Service (BaaS) solution. The deployment addressed business continuity planning for the Nakatsugawa head office and replaced Symantec NetBackup workflows that backed AD, file and DB servers to a local backup server with remote NAS replication.
The implementation used Barracuda Backup as a combined local appliance and cloud-integrated storage architecture, leveraging inline deduplication and compression to reduce data volumes. Barracuda Backup provided built-in cloud storage capacity and Bare Metal Restore capabilities for full system and OS recovery, eliminating separate backup licensing costs and consolidating local and offsite retention into a single managed appliance.
Operational validation began with a free evaluation plan in November 2011, during which an initial dataset of roughly 300GB compressed to about 140GB, confirming that the standard plan and the included 200GB cloud allocation were sufficient. The first full backup required extended time, subsequent backups completed rapidly due to deduplication, and the Bare Metal Restore firmware feature was validated for system recovery scenarios relevant to business continuity needs.
Financial and operational analysis from the company�s SI showed a material reduction in running costs when using the Barracuda appliance and cloud service. Annual costs were estimated at 540,000 yen including 200GB of cloud storage and appliance maintenance, compared with an estimated 1.16 million yen for a hardware refresh plus line costs, backup licensing, maintenance and replication services.
The Barracuda Backup deployment at Chuo Bussan impacted core IT functions including server backup, disaster recovery workflows and BCP readiness, centralizing backup management across AD, file server and database workloads. Concerns addressed during rollout included sizing of cloud storage and data transfer speeds, both resolved through compression, deduplication and the evaluation process.
